Disclosure: This round-up is sponsored by Land O’Lakes, Inc., but all thoughts remain, as always, my own.
When the weather turns cold, my thoughts turn to comfort food. In my book, comfort food almost always comes under a generous amount of something cheesy and melted. It’s hard to feel anything other than happy and satisfied when there are loads of melted, gooey cheese dripping down whatever you’re eating, and it’s hard to find something that melts better and more smoothly than Land O Lakes® Deli American. I want to share 10 Easy Cheesy Recipes with you today. Some are here from Foodie with Family, some come from my blogger buddies, and all of them are certain to fill that melty need! And bonus time! My friends at Land O’Lakes have generously offered to give away a Deli American gift package to help make melty dreams come true. Scroll to the bottom of the round-up for the giveaway details.
Trashy Barbecue Pulled Pork & Toasted Cheese Sandwich
Sourdough sandwich bread piled high with barbecue pulled pork, melty cheese, and toasted to brown, buttery perfection. Good for you? Not by a long shot, but great for your soul!
Cheesy Barbecue Chicken and Bacon Egg Rolls
The crispy, crunchy eggroll wrapper surrounds a melty, cheesy, bacon studded, barbecue chicken filling that will keep you coming back for more! Serve with extra barbecue sauce for a delicious departure from the average eggroll.
Chorizo Beef Burgers with Crispy Onion Straws
This amazing burger from Nutmeg Nanny is the perfect big mouth burger. Topped with bbq fry sauce, candied jalapeños and Deli American, it is sure to make your day a little brighter.
Spinach Omelet Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Toasted multi-grain bread filled with perfectly oozing melted Deli American surrounding a tender, text-book omelet that was wrapped around garlicky spinach, chopped ham, and even more molten, liquid, cheesy goodness.
The Ultimate Queso Blanco Dip
Melted Deli American and Monterey Jack cheeses, chopped green chiles, and garlic is the ultimate queso blanco dip. Dunk tortillas, pretzels, or spread on tacos, burritos, or your face!
Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
This ‘deconstructed bacon cheeseburger’ – ground beef mixed with all of your favorite burger fixings: melted cheese, ketchup, relish, mustard – with sautéed onions and A-1® Sauce and a sprinkle of crispy bacon from A Family Feast will have you dipping over and over.
Filthy Burgers
This blissfully meaty, perfectly grilled, juicy, beef burger is studded with barbecue pulled pork and crispy bits of bacon, topped with melted pepper jack cheese or Deli American, tangy barbecue sauce, and tender lettuce on a toasted bun. It’s sure to make you a grilling superstar!
Chicken Bacon Spinach Grilled Cheese
This gorgeous sandwich from Nutmeg Nanny is obviously packed with cheesy goodness, but it’s also packed with freshly cooked chicken breast, super crunchy bacon, sweet baby spinach and a delicious garlic mayonnaise. This is the type of sandwich, as she says, that you go out of your way to have.
Easy Cheesesteak Sandwiches
Browned, thinly sliced steak with loads of pan-fried peppers, onions, and mushrooms stuffed in a bun and smothered with Deli American. When Aggie’s Kitchen does an Easy Cheesesteak Sandwich, she does it right!
Cranberry N Cheese Grill
This grilled cheese with zesty cranberry sauce and turkey is directly from
Land O’Lakes Test Kitchen. I can so see this happening after Thanksgiving!

Reader's Thoughts...
Lynne Johnson says
Cheese makes everything better. You can’t beat a good burger with cheese melting on it.
Kristal says
Simple grilled cheese. On white bread, of course!
Alyson says
Any kind of grilled cheese panini would be a fantastic use!
Mindy says
My favorite WILL be for that bacon cheeseburger dip!
Kristi N says
My favorite use of deli American cheese is to make a pot roast sandwich; shredded leftover pot roast topped with cheese and grilled between two buttered slices of Italian bread…yum!
Beth S. says
Why the grilled cheese sandwich of course!
P Campbell says
Ham and cheese panini. The best
Jana says
Good ole Grilled cheese and homemade tomato soup. Although my husband eats this cheese with anything and everything!
Lori Haase says
I love LOL American on a gooey, cheesy bacon and grilled cheese sandwich! Yum Yum!
Laura D says
Just made your ultimate quest. So delicious.
Deitan says
All of the above super cheese-y offerings above sound awesome! We especially love pairing cheese with all things tuna. Straight on a sandwich, tuna melt ( which can lead to all kinds of creative flavor pairings), grilled cheese, could go on and on. Yum, going to have to have something melty, gooey now;)
HS says
I love using it for grilled cheese.
Yvette N. says
My new favorite way to use their cheese slices is:
Open face english muffins, mozzarella cheese, Pesto, and tomatoes..melted under the broiler until nice and melty!
Theresa M. says
Cheese belongs on everything! But if I had to name a favorite, it would be a big, juicy burger with lots of oozy melty cheese dripping down the sides. In desperate situations, a slice of cheese on a saltine always helps.
Ed says
Grilled ham and cheese or grilled balogne and cheese.
Heck, grilled anything and cheese.
Jeri says
Land o Lakes is our favorite deli American cheese (and I’m not just saying that because I want to win). Our favorite is a hot ham and cheese with whatever garnishes we have…roasted peppers, pickles, tomatoes, avocado, jalapenos…we’re equal opportunity garnishers. We like to mix up the bread too, but my personal favorite is good old-school Italian bread.Yum, now I need to make a deli run.
Rita T says
perfect for traditional grilled cheese on homemade bread.
Cecilia says
Cheeseburgers!
Lise says
Can’t have a plain burger; must have cheese!!
Jacky says
I Love some deli american on a toasted sandwich with some pastrami and homemade sauerkraut !!!!!
